Apples of Gold
"A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver." Solomon said this many centuries ago, but I experienced it in a fresh way just this morning. Someone took a couple of minutes to write me one paragraph in a private message on Facebook. I can't right now give any details as to why it spoke to me so much, but I can tell you that it was nearly life changing...and I'm not given to drama in the way I say things. Very few times, have I sensed that I was receiving a word from the Lord through a friend. I suspect they did not realize that they were writing me a note that was from the heart of God to mine, but they were. I suspect they were just sharing a little bit of their heart and giving me a little encouragement. I have mulled over their words...re-reading them several times today and thanking God for the way they lifted my spirit and helped me look forward again. Their words were like apples of gold in a setting of silver. Beauti
